Default Eyeballing Speed?

PortsmouthProwler brought up an interesting point in another thread, but for the ease of future searches, I would like to make a thread dedicated to "eyeballing" the speeds of ships.

A DD with a forward wake at the cutwater is probably 12 kt. A Merchie with the same I call 7-9 kt. A capital ship with the same is probably 18 kt.
This has always interested me. Does anyone else have any handy hints for eyeballin speed?
